Albany Park Gentrifiying?

My old neighborhood seems to be attracting people from Lincoln Square, Andersonville and Lakeview. Some of the gay population is getting priced out of these areas, and looking west to AP. It is also attracting chains like Starbucks and condo developers. With the brown line rehab finished, AP will become even more desirable (with its 3-4 stations). With Daley trying to get more TODs in the city, Lawrence and Kedzie Avenues could really benefit in the next few years. Any thoughts on this dense, vibrant area?

Some of the developments:

Park Manor. 3611 W. Montrose.


2934 W. Montrose


3420 W. Foster



5420 N. Kedzie.


3000 W. Lawrence.


3113 W. Lawrence. (a few years old)
